The Netgear XAVB101 is not so much a new product as a package deal--included are two Netgear XAV101 Ethernet Adapters, which is everything the average consumer needs to quickly set up an Ethernet network in their house. One of the adapters connects to a router connected to a broadband modem. The other can be plugged in anywhere in the house, and once any Ethernet-equipped devices (PCs, TiVos, gaming consoles) are connected through its Ethernet port, they become part of a network capable of sharing printers, internet, storage, documents, and even HD videos at a speed of 200 mbps. The devices also feature a button for easy setup of 128-bit AES security encryption of the network. Both adapters plug into ordinary HomePlug AV outlets, and by using the existing powerlines of a house as high speed Ethernet connections, the XAVB101 is a cheaper option than having brand new Ethernet lines installed. The kit includes a 1 year warranty, installation guide, setup CD, warranty card, and support and information card.
